Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx™
What it is:A quick fix tightener that firms and smooth the appearance of age-revealing trouble spots. What it is formulated to do:Instant Firmx™ temporarily tightens the appearance of skin and reduces the look of forehead creases, “11” lines, crow’s-feet, enlarged pores, and nasal-labial folds. With this revolutionary formula, white residue is splashed or patted away while active firming agents remain behind. These agents work beneath the skin’s surface to help tighten, firm, and smooth the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and pores for younger-looking, beautiful skin. Research results:In a 4-week consumer efficacy study on 30 women: - 93% agreed this product worked instantly - 93% agreed their skin texture looked smoother after using this product - 87% agreed their face looked firmer after using this product - 87% agreed their skin looked instantly tighter after using this product

Review 1 for Instant Firmx™
Every morning routine
-05.10.13
Quick Take: firming, tightening pores, instant effects, everyday routine
I tried this as a sample first and amazed how well it worked, so I bought the full product. This product can be used as a mask pack or worn with moisturizer, etc. However, I apply this as soon as I get up in the morning (after washing my face and brushing my teeth). Just put it on, and feed my dog and brew some coffee. It dries up in about five minutes and my face will be firm, smooth and ready for a foundation (it even erases the pillow marks...). I've got pretty visible pores on cheeks and if I forgot to put on Benefit's Porefessional (primer) I will be irritated all day long for those pores. This product helps minimize the pores as well, so with Porefessional, the pores are almost invisible now. The firming result is instant and as I use this product everyday, my face and jaw line looks firmer even in the evening. I think I will keep getting this product.

Review 2 for Instant Firmx™
really cool
-04.20.13
Quick Take: effective, wrinkle-free, economical, lifting, firming, youthful appearance, strong
This is good stuff. It seems to function as advertised. I don't apply it all over, just to select spots that need help - forehead between my eyebrows, nasal-labial folds, a little around the lips. It doesn't take much, either. Not only does it do a fine job of tightening the wrinkled area, the wrinkles seem to be treated such that each time I use the product, the wrinkles stay a little less prominent. I also use the related product for eyes and love it. I have read other reviewers who indicated that they couldn't use their regular liquid products on top of it. That mostly isn't a problem for me; I use Bareminerals foundation. But I also got a sample of the Bareminerals undereye concealer recently, which is a very thick cream, and it doesn't seem to affect the Instant Firmx, regardless of where I place it. Granted, I don't rub the concealer in - I pat it out to blend it. The end result is just lovely: A smooth youthful face. I highly recommend it!

Quick Take: miraculous
firms tightens...but use it on naked skin...mix with a little water...or you'll get a white "wash' surface glace.

Review 5 for Instant Firmx™
Peter Thomas Roth
-04.08.13
Quick Take: smoothing
One of my friends absolutely loves it, but I found this very difficult to work with. I'm fairly adept with all things makeup, but there's a very fine line between putting too much of this product on your face (white residue forms within minutes) and not enough to make a difference. I tried everything: a heavier application with "residue touch ups" to feather out the white film, a lighter application with minumal results. I read the reviews for application tips. I wasn't expecting miracles, but no technique seems to provide the results I was hoping for. I will return this if Sephora allows it.

Smooths the lines

Nice product, it smooths out lines and lifted my eyes but if you put on too thick it leaves a cakey residue on your face.

Review 9 for Instant Firmx™
takes away 10 years
-03.18.13
Quick Take: tightening, line-erasing
I had a sample of this product,but no directions. I found that when the white residue appeared, if I dabbed just a teeny bit of moisturizer on it ,it evened out. I put foundation over it.
When I looked in the mirror the first time I applied it,I gasped with shock,because I saw the face I used to see ...really,I nearly began to cry(but It would have washed away the results!) Someone asked me if i had botoxed!
Today I bought a tube....$48 seems quite reasonable for such a product. I love it,and I love Peter Thomas Roth for inventing It!!

When you apply this product it tightens your face; however, when you pat dry your face it goes back to the before state. Also after you have used this product you CAN NOT put your BB cream, moisturizer, or foundation on your face it doesn't go on. It goes on patchy and looks awful. Will continue to try other products.

Review 11 for Instant Firmx™
Get a sample first
-03.11.13
Quick Take: thick powdery residue
I was smart enough to get a sample first. The product is a thick beige gel that is applied to the under eye area..Upon application It tightened the skin almost immediately. I applied as little as possible. Just enough to lightly cover my under eye puffiness. I will say that it was a very tight feel and my under bags were all but gone in a few minutes. However, after drying there was a thick white powdery residue left on the skin. It cracked and flaked and no matter what i did it would not stop. Having a facial expression, like a smile made it worse. I tried to wash it off and still the residue remained. It felt as if I had applied glue. Absolutely no chance that this would work with any concealer or moisturizer. The next day I was finally able to get this off my skin completely. Very disappointing. I can't believe Sephora would sell a product like this.

Quick Take: firmx
I love Peter Thomas Roth's Instant Firmx. I just wish it was a permanent fix. All the injectables didn't last as long as they were suppose too. And this product is so much more afforable. Looks great before rinsing off the residue!

Review 15 for Instant Firmx™
Awful
-02.17.13
I just tried this for the first and last time, I got a sample. It's sticky, flakes like crazy and feels so tight on your face it feels like you have gum or something on your face. I'm so glad I never purchased this, I just had to wash my whole face and get rid of this. Plus I don't think it did anything. I'll stick with Clarins Instant smooth, much much better.

Review 16 for Instant Firmx™
I do not like this product at all.
-02.16.13
I hate the way it makes my face feel & the white residue that it leaves behind. If you use it like it says on the bottle with water (for the white residue) then the effects of the product are reduced. Waste of money!

Review 17 for Instant Firmx™
Great product!
-02.11.13
Quick Take: tightening
I mix a pea-sized amount into my moisturizer + argan oil and I see instant results! The consistency is a bit thick so use caution when using alone because it tends to get chalky. I have trouble in my forehead area and have been bouncing back and forth whether or not to get botox but with this in my regimen, I can put it off a bit longer :)

Awesome once you get the technique down
-02.10.13
Quick Take: temporary wrinkle remover
you cannot put anything but powder on top of this or it does not work. what I do is put a small drop between my eyebrows because that is my trouble spot, and then very quickly swipe it up on the forehead moving horizontally...dries very quickly so move quick. then immediately begin dabbing your finger back between your eyes to smooth that part down where you started. it takes a few tries. Close your eyes and fan your face till dry. Use loose powder over it and you are set for the day...it's a miracle! if it gets in your eyebrows, use a clear brow gel to comb it away. put moisturizer everywhere else except where you apply this lotion.

Great Product!
-02.04.13
I received this as a sample and have found a product I will never be without! I'm almost 50 and love the smooth effects this provides to my wrinkles and lines!
My only con is it does leave a slight powdery residue. If you use too much water it takes off the product, not enough and you have a film. This is worth it, but thought I'd mention it!
